Chapter 2
Luckily enough, his lowest dejection took a favorable turn. Old Wang and his brother Young Wang, had contracted for a factory building in Shenzhen. They needed two low-priced security guards urgently. To everyone’s delight, Old Wang took father with him on a rainy day in September 2006.
Three days later, father, who was more trusted than the other guard, started working night shifts. The two of them did shifts every half a month, from 7 AM to 7 PM. Father also worked part-time as the cleaner there. Early every morning, he would wash the notorious public toilet, sweep four fl oors of the large factory building and fi ve of their dormitory with no lift, pick the recyclable waste and dump the unusable in the closest waste disposal site on the roadside outside a lychee forest.
